She writes of his "pleasant little visit to us." She writes, "antislavery wise it was very disappointing to us to feel his coming such a failure, but our being cut-off from nearly all connection with the tide of..the active world just...by my father's illness causes a sudden suspension of the machinery which was now so help dependent on our working it. It is the greatest consolation to have his promise that he will return here beofre he sails wherever may be all in at better position for taking council for the future interests of the cause."
